ARcsort OF Fashion.

A sight TO delight the gaze of a mod
ern Beau Brummel is spread before the
devotees of fashion in masculine attire
at the store of Geyer Bros, 1877 East
Third street. This is the only strictly
mems furnishing goods store III st.
Paul, and as the preprietors are men of
large experience and of exquisite taste,
their stock is well worth an hours in
spection. Making this business a spe-
cialty, devoting all their time and en-
ergy to it, and not coupling it to the hat
OF clothing business as all others do, is
great card in their favor, and men of
fashion, who want ''just the thing" can
find adj ''their fancy painted" in the
goods displayed. The finest neckwear
in rich and varied colors, the choicest
gloves in the best makes, and the latest
thing in collars and cuffs, hosiery and
underwear, are set temptingly before
one. In fancy and plain handkerchief
the stock is very large, and the same
may be said of the SuSpenderS. A per-
fcct-ftting shirt is a mans delight; it
keeps him i'll serene frame of mind, no
matter what the condition of the real
estate market. Geyer Bros. guarantee
a fit In shirts. They do not allow an i'll
fitting shirt to leave their store. They
take orders fer the L. b. Boyd 81 Co.'s
celebrated shirts, which have q world
wide reputation. Of course, umbrellas
and the many little things that go to
make up the toilet of gentleman their
stock is replete, and the prices for all
their goods the lowest. A visit and in
spectien will suffice to. convince the
most skeptical. q n

TIE ARTIST AT WORK.

artists at home, in Chicago and in the
East. But the larger portion of the
work is done by the special artist,
Charles f. Batchelder. Illustrating will
continue to be made an important and
leading feature of the GLOBE in future,
and improvements will be made as rap
idly as the art of picture making itself
improves. A large share of the illuStra-
tons in this number were made by the
GLOBES special artist. The view of
the artists reom, accompanying this ar
ticie, gives the reader fair idea of the
handsome quarters In which he does his
work. If there is a murder, or fire, or
a sensational trial, or any event of an
extraordinary character, the artist is
SENT OUT TO MAKE SKETCHES,
and they appear, as natural as life, in
the issue of the next day. He makes
pictures by the Kaolin procesS-which
is etching in chalk. He uses a sharp
pointed Instrument, cutting the desired
figures in the plate. The plate is made
of steel, covered with patent prepara-
ton of chalk and plaster Paris about
one-eighth of an inch thick. The method
of preparing these plates is secret, and
the patentees sell them at pretty stiff
figures. They are of various sizes. If
a photo or tin type can be secured the
artist makes tracing of it on It's
sue paper and then cuts the out
lines through, thus tracing into
the chalk, putting on the fin
iShing touches without the aid of draw
ing. But ordinarily he makes a sketch
of the object he intends to illustrate,

zens.
= One of the most widely-known and
popular commercial printing establish
ments in this city is that of ID. Ramaley
& Son, who, owing to increased bust
ness, have found it necessary to have
more cOmmodiuS quarters and have con-
sequently rented almost half the eighth
story of the new GLOBE building, where
they are placing, with few excep,,
lions, new plant. This move will
enable them to serve the public with
even more promptness and dispatch than
has heretofore characterized their bust
ness career, so that it may be said that
they will with their present facilities
eclipse, in premptneSs and perfection of
work, all their competitors. They
have supplied themselves with power
presses of the latest and most approved
patterns, driven by an Edison electrical
engine Of five horse power capacity All
the necessary furniture, with which
only few of the really first-class print
ing houses are equipped, is provided by
these gentlemen for the furtherance of
their interests. Their supply of plain
and ornamental types is very large and
owing to the great diversity of the work
entrusted to their care. A specially is
made of the finest class of commercial
work, and some of the specimens eXhib-
tied are unequaled for beauty and origi-
nal design. This firm numbers among
its large clientage many Of our leading
| commercial houses, who find both their
work and prices perfectly satisfactory
in every respect. In 1861 Mr.. Ramaley
started in business for himself in a little
two-story stone structure on Third
street, between Wabasha and Cedar,
with only himself as the whole estab-
lishment, from proprietor down through
all the numerous positions to printers
devil. Year by year, by business push
and sagacity, he has built up CONNER
cial interest in his line of large extent,
employing large force Of men, not
combining itself locally, but extending
throughout the Northwest generally,
and both he and. his son, who are the
firm, well deserve the high degree of
prominence which they have attained
by years Of liberal and fair dealing.

using common white paper and o lead
pencil. He traces the outlines through
this into the chalk also, and then pro-
ceeds to cut out with his instrument and
finish up the picture. He works very
rapidly and can turn out good many
portraits or sketches in day. There
are other methods of illustrating, but
most of them are slow and tedious, al
though better results are generally OBJ
tanned. 1t is impossible to secure the
same degree of excellence in daily
newspaper Illustration as is done
in magazines, for the reason that
there is no time to spare; that the
presses are run at much higher rate of
speed, and that the quality of the ink
and paper is not so good. Therefore, it
is not probable that the high class of
magazine engraving can ever be utilized
on daily newspapers. The aim is to
give the reader an idea of the person or
the situation, and no attempt is made to
go beyond this. Life is too short to
waste time in such way. When the
cuts have been printed part are saved
and part destroyed. Those are saved
which are likely to be used again, and
stored in boxes or drawers, which are
so arranged as to be found readily when
wanted

HENNESY BROS, AGNEW
COX. ..-.-

The Contractors of the "Globe"
Building---The Men Who Reared
Its Massive Masonry to the
Clouds.
The casual observer in noting the
gradual completion of a handsome
structure admires it for its beauty, per-
haps passing a careless criticism on
some portion not agreeing with his
ideas of architecture, but he gives no
thought to the immensely of the inter-
cstS involved in its erection. Only men
of sound business judgment, with di-
verSifed knowledge of building mate
rialS and construction, are capable of
undertaking the erection of large and
costly structures. The firm of Hen
messy Bros, Agnew 81 Cox, in
completing so perfect an edifice
as the GLOBE building have erected
a lasting monument to their ability.
Too much praise cannot be bestowed
upon these gentlemen, for their career
i'll the Northwest has been one of unin-
terupted prosperity caused by their own
individual efforts in behalf of the firm
of which they are members, they are all
puSherS, workers and men of large eX-
perience and untiring energy. All their
work is characterized by the closest at
tentiOn of each to his special department
in the firm and the result of their united
efforts are such colossal undertakings
as the Hotel Ryan, the West hotel and
their crown glory, the GLOBE building.

- able Than Interest.
% Towns and cities in the United States,
from one end of it to the other, have
had their booms, time and again, and
have made great ado about it, with al
most invariably the same result-the
boom has collapsed and the bottom
has dropped out. This has been the
history OF thousands of places. But
their failures have been due to causes
easily explained. They never had the
territory to back them nor the stable
qualities which build up and support
cities. There has been disposition in
some quarters of the East to class st.
Paul in the category of ''boom" cities,
and the croakers have predicted a re-
action and final collapse. They have
not had sense enough to stop and calcu-
late the difference between a place of
mushroom growth and one that is built
on Solid foundation. st. Paul is of
the latter class. 1t is not ''bOom"
city. 1t has magnificent cOun-
try back of it and all the qualities of
soundness and permanency. Its record
in growth is a marvel, and it expands
and grows year by year. There was

POINTS OF INTEREST.
Facts of Various Kinds Com
pressed into Small Paragraphs.


There are a good many points con-
nected with the great building which
will prove of curious and pleasant i'll
tereSt.
From top to bottom-counting every
thing except closets and vaults-there
are 1877 rooms.
The windows number 921, and there
is total of ], AGO window glass.
The stone foundation supports this
great lead as solidly as the rock of
Gibralter, and the principle of construc-
ton is such that the building becomes
tirmer and stronger as the pressure be-
comes heavier.
The work of excavation was begun in
the fall of 1885, and the contract for the
building was signed in April, 1856.
The erection of the structure was be-
gun in May, 1856, with the stipulation
that it was to be completed and ready
for occupancy by April Is, 1887.
There are main entrances both on
Fourth and Cedar streets.
About thirty feet from the south line of
the building there is a wall which is
continuous to the top.
A large skylight is located in the cen
ter of the roof, and an open IS foot
light-well extends from there to the first
floor.
Every article of furniture about that
part of the building occupied by the
GLOBE is brand new-in business office,
editorial and local rooms, composing
rooms, press and Stereotyping rooms.
Nothing was removed from the old
building except the books. The coun-
ters, desks, safes, chairs, cases, types,
presses, Stereotyping Outfit-everything
is new and fresh and bright-even ia
the paste pots and shears and. ink bot
sweep, and nothing can be found about
the GLOBE now that SavorS of old fogy-
ism.
This is a new era, and the GLOBE
starts out with new spring suit of

while until it will be wearing diamonds.
